PORTLAND, Ore. – February 4, 2014 – Prost to 30 years of
beer! Widmer Brothers Brewing today announced plans for its 30th Anniversary in
2014.

Headlining the brewery’s 30th Anniversary celebration is the
30 Beers for 30 Years Series. Beginning in April, the month Widmer Brothers was
founded in 1984, the brewery will brew and release 30 small batch beers, each
brewed to commemorate a specific year and beer in the brewery’s 30-year
history. The 30 beers will be brewed at the brewery’s 10-barrel pilot brewery
at the Rose Quarter in Portland and distributed locally, both on draught and in
22-ounce bottles.

“The 30 Beers for 30 Years project is our way to tell the
story of our brewery’s 30 year history,” said Rob Widmer, co-founder. “We had a
lot of fun choosing the most memorable beers to represent each of the last 30
years, and we’re excited to bring back some old favorites and long-forgotten
releases for this series. The project is pretty ambitious, but we’re looking
forward to sharing the history of the brewery in the best way we know how –
with beer.”

Widmer Brothers is tapping some of Portland’s best creative
talent for the 30 Beers for 30 Years label designs. Thirty different local
artists and designers will design label art for the beers in this series based
on their interpretations of the beer, making for a unique look at the past 30
years of Widmer Brothers Brewing.

Additionally, Widmer Brothers will be brewing six limited
release collaboration beers with six of Oregon’s most innovative breweries to
help celebrate the brewery’s 30 years of brewing in Oregon. The beers will be
released in select markets on draught and in 22-ounce bottles throughout the
year, beginning in April.

“It’s amazing to look back at the last 30 years and see how
far we’ve come as a brewery, as a community and as an industry. We’re extremely
grateful for all the support we’ve received over the last 30 years,” said Kurt
Widmer, co-founder of Widmer Brothers Brewing. “Beyond our 30 year anniversary,
we also want use this opportunity to showcase and celebrate the unique
camaraderie that exists between craft brewers, especially those of us fortunate
enough to be part of Oregon’s brewing and beer communities.”

Portland-area beer drinkers should be on the lookout for the
30 Beers for 30 Years series starting in early April, and continuing through
April 2015. All beers will be available locally in 22-ounce bottles with
specially designed labels. New beers within the series will be announced and
released throughout the year.

The collaborations with Oregon breweries will receive a
wider distribution. Fans of Widmer Brothers and the collaborating breweries can
expect to see these releases in Portland, Seattle, San Francisco, San Diego,
Minneapolis, New York City, Boston, and Philadelphia.
